Systematicity: The Nature of Science The lectures present the content of a recently finished book manuscript of Professor Paul Hoyningen-Huene (Hannover) bearing the same title. The main thesis of the book is: Scientific knowledge differs from other kinds of knowledge, in particular from everyday knowledge, primarily by being more systematic. There will be a commentary on each lecture. The commentators are F.A. Muller (Rotterdam), Julian Reiss (Rotterdam), and Manfred Stöckler (Bremen).
Studying, understanding, helping, guiding: Tilburg University aims to use its research to contribute to a better understanding of complex social issues. Researchers do so by looking at underlying structures, links and meanings. The research conducted on Tilburg University`s campus leads to new insights and questions, but also to practical advice and recommendations.
Research institutes
Tilburg University research is conducted within the faculties` graduate schools or within one of its many research institutes. Each institute specializes in one or more areas of expertise; there are faculty and multidisciplinary institutes. In the latter type, specialists from various disciplines work together. Always with a view to innovative science.
Centers of Excellence
A number of multidisciplinary research centers receive additional support from Tilburg University’s Executive Board to develop into an academic Center of Excellence, which will allow them to remain leading in their (international) field of research. An independent committee determines whether these institutes live up to high standards. The International Victimology Institute (INTERVICT) is the first of these centers. INTERVICT conducts interdisciplinary research that contributes to a comprehensive, evidence-based body of knowledge on the empowerment and support of victims of crime and abuse of power.
